1LI1 Soch is the Verdict in tha Cicts o! Simeon Coy ud W. F. A. Bernhimer. ; Deftsdint Mittler Exonerated of all Blame Teaching tha Tally Sheet llteratiosr. Remarkable Ending cf the Second Prosecution in the Election Conspirasy Hitter. I'eetiliar Manner toy Which the Surprising Derision Was Beached-Some Secrets of tbe Jnry.Boom Revealed, "We, the J"uiyf find the defendants Coy and Bernhamer guilty, as charged In the Indictment, snd we, the Jury, find the defendant Mattier not guilty, as charged in the Indictment." The above is the verdict in the great elec tion conspiracy case, tbe trial of which has been pending in the United States District Court for the past twelve days. It was wholly a surprise. No one expected it, neither Republicans nor Democrats. The feet that the jury had failed to reach a dtcision in twenty four hours had established tbe conviction firmly in the minds of everybody ttat there would be a disagreement. It was regarded Eimply ai a rjutsticn ot endurance on ine part ot oom the jury and the court. Judge Woods was aliCEdy being censured severely for holding the jury when there seemed no likelihood whatever of their agreeir upon a verdict. But nobody can tell v;Lat a jury will do, er ratner wnai they won't do. In this case it appears tLat a death in a juror's family, making it essential for him to t.et home to attend tbe funeral, induced bim to vote lor con viction, ss will be seen in another column. At ;:30 o'clock Saturday evening alter havicg balloted unsuccessfully for almost twenty-eight hours, th9 1 .... 1 t t jury gave nonce miougn toe dsiiiu lbs? tfcey tad agreed upon u veraict. it wtstbfn tbe supper hour, and the Court ronld not be com rr unicated with at once The defendants had also gone away, and it became necessary to withhold the verdict for the time beicg. Meanwhile the twelve men went to the Grand Hotel, in charge of the baiUfj, for supper. Tbe jury b.ive cgreed." This was the word that spread about tbe city, and it was further given out that the Court would be pment to hear the findirg a' 7. GO o'clock. At that hour people b?gtio o Hock to the Federal building. Judjre Woods and liuie fon were In his private chamber, but a: the time appointed he went above to District Attorney Stller'a office. The corridors were filled, but the courtroom had not been unlocked. Presently the jurors, with Bailifl Stein at the front, ascended the stairs and went at once into the court room and took their seats. The foreman had a tealcd envelope in his hand, containing the verdict, which he handled somewhat nervously. The crowd from tbe corridors pressed into the court room and the favored ones court officials, attorneys and reporters were given seats immediately ia front of tee jury, while the remainder of the crowd, who were there eimply to gratify curiosity and without any direct interest in the case, were required to stand on the north side of the room. Then b3gan a wait which lasted for one hour and wenly minutes. Expectancy was marked upon every feature, and whenever tbe dtor opened there was a hurr'evl r!ar.ce at the face of the new comer, it having become known that tte delay was occasioned by the Ecn-arpear.mce of defendant Bernhamer. Mersrs. Coy and Mattier were promptly on tbe scene, butremained in the office of Deputy District Attorney Cailey pending tte arrival cf Mr. Bernhamer. Sim was the coolest of the cool. A recent shave gave bim juit the slightest paleness, out there was nothing in his demeanor to indicate that he was rot able to meet any en.erfency. He wore a heavy overcoat, unbuttoned and thrown back carelessly, as 13 Lis custom; and from his immaculate fbirt front thone the diamond so much talked about in connection with tbe Van Slack bond matter. His silk hat aat back cn his bead and a pleasant fmile greeted all who epoke to him. He smoked nceseantly, but this was but his evpry-day habit, so familiar to all. He shook hands cordially with friends end betrayed not the least nervousntfs. There was no evidence whatever of failing courage. He was the same Sim Coy, jovial, stout-hearted and kindly, whose many excellent traits of character have won for bim tuen a large following the Sim Coy woo "never quails." Mr. Mattier waa more deeply concerned than bis co-defendant; at leaet beeeemed o be laboring under intense excitemjnt and hardly able to endure tbe strain upon him. His bearing was that of an innocent man resting under a terrible charge, and wno recognized that all he possessed was at stake. He was very nervous, this being especially manifested in his inability to be quiet, or retain any position. He was continually walking about the corriders, goirjg in and out of the Deputy District Attorney's office, and entering the courtroom, only to remain a lew moments. His brother, Frank Mattier, and bis friend, Henry Gnetig, were with bim and appeared equaly interested. As stated above, Sim Coy conversed fre ly with bis counsel and friends, and was not agitated or disturbed. He made no concealment, however, of the fact that be believed tbe jury bad made a finding of guilty in his case. When a Sentinel reporter asked him what be thought of the situation, Sim replied: "It looks like somebody is stack," and he emphasized the word "somebody" for the evident purpose of conveying tbe information that the individual be had reference to was himself. "1 was surprised when told they had reached a verdict," he added, "for just an hour before one of the jurors sent a telegram to his family saying he would not be home before Monday evening. But you can never tell what a jury will do." At this juncture a friend came up and said to Sim, jocularly: "Murdock's a good fellow, anu he'll cot be hard on you. We'll send a large delegation up to Michigan City to commend you to the generous considerations of the Warden." "Yes, there is already some talk of chartering a special train, so that my friends can go along with me," Sim rejoined good naturedly. While Mr. Coy chatted pleasantly with friends, and the crowd waited impatiently in the conrt room. Marshal Hawkins and bis deputies made a persistent effort to secure Mr. Berchamers presence. Finally won was tent by telephone to a drug store on Virginia avenue, and the proprietor thereof agreed to send a meeseoger to Mr. Btrahamex"! residence, seve

ral squares awa7. notifying bim that he was wanted at the conrs room. Minutes seemed like honrs, so great was tbe amiety to hear the verdict which Foreman Davis held in his hand. Speculation was rife as to what the finding would be, but all agreed that Mr. Coy would be found guilty. Generally speaking, people thought that both Bernhamer and Mattier would be acquitted, bat there were cot a few tnat hazarded the belief that Mr. Bernhamer would not fare so well. The impression was unanimous that Mr. Mattier would go free. After an hoor' wait, tbe druggist telephoned that Mr. Bernhamer had been found at home eating enpper, and that he would take a car and come down town immediately ; that be might be expected ia "five or ten minutes." It was then 8:30 o'clock. Ten minutes elapsed, and still Mr. Bernhamer did not put in an

appearance. Fifteen minutes passed, ine crowd betrayed their impatience by turning toward the door at every movement in that vicinity. Mr. Kern sought diversion in talking to the jarors. He drew his chair near them, and with the fund of anecdote always at his command, and the entertaining style for which he is noted, he soon bad the twelve men in the best of humor. "Ha! ha! ha!" would come fiom the jury box, and they wonld lean back and laugh hard enough to make their sides ache. Mr. Kern, pushing a little closer, would say pomething else Which the jurors would bend forward eager to bear, and then they would go into another convulsion. And so tbe time wes epent, the crowd finding their only amtmment in gazing steadfe&tly at Mr. Kern, and watch ing his success in controlling the spirits of the men who held the fat e3 of three citizens in their hands. Tbe clock indicated 8:50 when the doors of the court room opened and Judge Wcods entered, leading his little boy, and followed by Clerk Butler, Marthal Hawkins, Defendants Coy, Mattier and Bernbamer, Hon. C. F. McNutt, District Attorney Sellers and his deputy, Mr. Bailey, and otters. Mr. Coy took a seat beside Mr. Kern on tbe right side of a table, facing the court and jury. Mr. Mattler was seated by his brother on the other side of the ta ble, directly opposite Mr. Coy, while Mr. Bernhamer occupied a seat at the rear end ot the same table. Marshal llawxins. at a nod from Judge Woods, pounded with a gavel on the bench and announced that court was in sesbion. Clerk Butler at ones advanced to the foreman of the jury and took the Urge envelope containing tbe verdict. "hall I read the verdict? ' asked the Clerk, addmsirg tbe Court. Mr. McNutt, branding in front of the table between Messrs. Coy and Mattier, addressed the Court as follows: "Your Honor, please, I am not very familiar with tLe ruus cf this court as to criminal cases, and, therefore, before the reading of this verdict, we deßire to object to its being received, for tbe reason that a communication was admitted to the jury room and given to one of the jurors dur ing the time of tbeir deliberations." The Court "The objection may be en tered before or after the reading of the verdict. In either case no advantage will be taken by this Court. Is the reporter" meaniDg the court s:enograpner here?" The stenographer was not present. "It makes no difference," coniinaed the CouTt. "Your rights will be protectee, Mr. McNutt." Then turnirg to Clerk Butler the Court taid: "Read the verdict." The Clerk tore the envelope, and ai he did so, the most profound silence prevailed. All listened eagerly to catch every word. Mr. Butler read the verdict as givon elsewhere. Mr. Coy did not change expression or betray the least emotion. The same smile was apparent, and not a tremor c:nld be discovered. Reaching across the table, he shook hands with Mr. Mattier and congratulated him upon his acquittal. An instant later Frank Mattier, the attorney, kissed his brother, and Henry Gnitig pushed forward and did likewise. iir. Bernhamer undoubtedly experienced a great surprise, as he had looked forward to no other possibility than acquittal or disagreement. He retained his composure remarkably well, however, hi3 first thought, like Sim Coy's, being to congratulate Mr. Mattier, which he did quite warmly. When asked how he felt, he replied, "All right." "We desire to have tbe jury polled," said Mr. McNutt to the Court. "Let that be done," directed Judge Wocd. The polling proceeded as follows : The Clerk "James B. Curtis." 3 he Court "Ja this jour verdict, Mr. Curtis? ' Mr. Curl is "It is." The Court "Do you still abide by it?' Mr. Curtis "I do." In this manner tbe Clerk went through the lis?, all the jarcrs replying atiirmatively. The court then thanked the jury for their patient deliberation, to which Mr. Kern, in behalf of counsel for the tccussed, also tendered thanks to the jurors for their "patience." Then followed the formal discharge of the twelve men. Mr. McNutt said the counsel for the defendants would have a number of motions to tile, the nature of which he could not state definitely at that time, and, as he was not familiar with the rules of the court, he desired to ask what arrangements wonld be made with regard to the recognizance of the defendants. Healso asked 11 it would be convenient for the Court to hear the motions about the middle of the pre isnt week. It was agreed between the Court and Messrs. McNutt aDd Kern to file tbe motions and argue the same on next Thursday. The Court said the defendants, who bad been fonnd guilty, were under bonds for $2,C0O, and this recognisance would be continued. Court was then declared adjourned. When asked when the sentences would be pronounced upon the verdict, Judge Woods siid : "That I cannot tell until the motions that are to be argued next Thursday are disposed of." "Will it be done immediately afterward?" "That depends entirely upon what disposition is made of the questions I am to consider." IIOW TUE JURORS AGREED. A Death in the Fam'ly of a Member Re! eponsihls for the Verdict, From the trial the jurors retired at 4:15 o'clock; Friday afternoon. A majority of them were for conviction, and, at almost any time, a vote of ten for conviction to two for acquittal on Bernhamer and Coy could be had, although more favorable ballots were taken until coon yesterday. As to Mattier, the jury at no time were very keen to find him guilty. The first ballot taken was upon the question of whether there was a conspiracy or not, and it resulted eight yeas and four cays. Upon this question Jurors Bunger, Peters, Messick and Carbiner voted in the negative. Several ballots were taken and the result varied. At times the result was nine yeas to three nays, but more often e ght to four. It being impossible to decide this question of conspiracy, the jury went to balloting as to tbe guilt Or innocence of tbe defendants. The first ballot resulted six to six on Mattier, and eight to four against Coy and Bernhamer. Tnree ballots were taken soon after going to the jury room. Upon returning from supper another ballot was taken, which resulted the tame as to Mattier and Bernhamer, but another man (Messick) voted against Coy, making the vote stand nine to three against him. Ballot were taken every ball boor from the beginning, and sometime, as often as every ten minutes. There were ninety-

eicht ballots In all. according to the count of one of the Democratic jurors.

There were no material changes in the ballots nam yesterday about noon. It was at this time that an agreement was made to acquit Mattier under conditions. These conditions were that an agreement shonld be reached as to the other two defendants. No more ballots were taken after this, as to Mattier, until the final one. ine attercoon was a busy one as to the other two defendants. Ballots were tauen every lew minutes, anu tu result was tne same aurmg tue entire afternoon Ten for conviction and two for acquittal. The two jurors who voted all this time for acquittal were James Peters, of Don Juan, Terry County, and Jacob Carbiner, of Bremen, Marshall County. It was at noon that tfree Democrats permanently deserted the defendants, and thus turned the tide toward a conviction. Tbey were Albert Messick, of Messick. Henry County, Jesse Bram bach, Cornnns, DeKalb County, and William H. Bunger, of North Land ing, Ohio county. Ot these Bunger was the last to go. Brambach voted for con viction nearly every ballot, and he was quickly followed by Messick. Upon returning from breakfast, yester day morning, a telegram was delivered to Juror Messick, which stated that his aged mother, who bad been Bick for a long time, bad died during the night. This, of course, cast a gloom over the jury room, and Mr. MeEsick felt very Ead the balance of the day. There are excellent reasons for believing that this telegram secured the verdict. Several times durinz the day Mr. Mr snick made frantic appeals to bis fellow-jurors, who were in the minority, to come over and settle th8 mat ter, so be ronld en home. Two of the furors failed to vote at the time, but finally the pressure brought to bear was more than they could withstand, and at 5:30 o'clock the final and decisive ballot was taken. Jurors Peters and Carbiner censented to vote yes as to whether there was a conspiracy, and then for conviction as to Coy and Bernhamer. The Republicans then voted not guilty as to Mattier. The verdict was preparred by Juror J ohn L. Davis, of Montgomery County, who bad been elf cted foreman. It read: "We, the inrv.find the defendants Coy and Bern hamer guilty as charged in the indictment, and we. the iurv. find the defendant Mattier rot guilty as charged in the indict ment." Foreman Davia then indicated to Deputy United S'ates Marshal iStein that a verdict had been agreed upon, and asked that the Judge be cent for. Officer Stein, after communicating this fact to Marshal Hawkics, took the jury to the Grand Hotel for supper while they were waiting for the Judge. Tbey were returned U the court room at 7:30 o'clock, the Judge having arrived in the meantime. Alter the jury was aiscnargea juror Carbiner said that had it not been for Messick a telegram there would never have been en agreement. "He appealed to us in behalf of bis dead mother to let him go home," said Messick, "and we came to the conclusion we might as well do it." Juror Teteis said he did not believe that the evidence was reallv sufficient to con vict the defendants, and that under no circumstance" was he in favor of imprisor ment. He thought the testimony was posBibly sufficient to justify a small See Juror Messick taid that from the tint be was indited toward conviction, although he voted several times for acquittal. He said he wtis born and reared a Democrat, and had rtl ways voted that ticket, but that be realized that Democrats sometimes oia wrecc es well as Republicans, and wlcn 4.bev did h: beloved in pan ishing them for it. Ke said he felt a great reluctancy in voting gniltv, and that un der no circumstances would he favor a severe nenaltv. There were but few good talkers on the iurv. and thev were favorable to can viction. The argumenta in the jury room m favor of conviction were mostly made by Foreman Davis and Juror Danlap, of Jefferson County, who is said to be a ward politician at Madison. They nsed every sort of influence in their power to secure a conviction of ail of the defendats at the outset, and if they had continued in that course doubtless a disagreement would have been the result. But by giving away as to Mattier those who favored acquittal -a-A inm vt'os) Ko ( K-!o nrAtanflA if ffllrnOD were tempted by this pretense of fairness. Jurors Petera and Carbiner, who stood out for an acquittal until the very last were.not reedy talkers. Mr. Peters is an old man and has not taken a very great interest in politics, and is very quiet and in no way aggressive. Juror Carbiner, who staid with him, is not a man of much experience, and bos core of the faculties of a leader among men. He said that most of the jurors felt bound by the Judge's charge, and that if it had not been for that there would not have been a possibility of a verdict In speaking of the addresses made before them, Learly all of the jurors were unanimous in saying tbat. the Judge's charge bad the greatest influence, and was regarded as tbe strongest argument made for the prosecution. Of the speeches of counsel, all egreed that Mr. Kern made the ablest and most effective speech. Jurors Carbiner and Messick said it was the best speech tbey ever heard. Juror Carbiner said that Claypool's speech waa not well received by those who were inclined toward an acquittal, because of its bitterness. Several of the jurors were pleased with Mr. Sellers' speech, and one of them remarked that it had more effect than Claypool's. 1)11F.DASIS AND COUNSEL. Ko Fears Entertained Touching; the Final Outcome of the Prosecution. A representative of the Sentinel met Messrs. Coy and Bernhamer after the verdict had been returned. Neither evinced the slightest uneasiness; indeed, if they bad any fears of the final result of the case, they were dissipated by the words of cheer poured into their ears npoa every hand by a host of friends. Tbe presence of so many sympathizers prevented their conversing upon the subject of their conviction. Later the reporter met both gen tl men at the Bates House, and inquiring as to the future of the case, was respectfully referred to their counsel. Neither was averse to talking, in fact both appeared in a contented frame of mind ana expressed gratification at the acquittal of Mattier, but Judge McNutt impressed upon them the necessity of saying as little as possible regarding themselves, especially to the press, where tbeir words might be garbled or at lent misconstrued by the public. Messrs. McNutt and Kern, attorneys for tl e defense, were fonnd at the room of the firmer at the Bates House, surrounded by a crowd of friends, engaged in a general talk on the situation. While the counsel expressed great indignation concerning the instructions of the conrt, and the partisan bias which characterized the action ot Judge Woods, they declioel to outline their future movements. It was, however, learned that an appeal would be prosecuted, and, as expressed by one of the counsel, "the book contains one hundred chapters, and this is only the end of the first." There is cot the slightest doubt on the part of either counsel or parties as to the ultimate result. "How did your wife receive the verdict?" said a bystander to Mr. Bernhamer. "Oh, all right," said be. "I sent a note to her awhile ago saying I would be home in an hour, and that was enough to ease ber miLd." 60L. CLATPOOL ASSAULTED. County Clerk Sullivan Reientt an Attack Made Upon Ola Character. Tbe bad feeling growing out oltbe aevere and abusive language need by the attorLevi in tbeir closing arguments In tbe cob

epirary trial resulted in a personal encoun

ter bet ween County Clerk J uns oullivan and Attorney sol. ciaypsoi, of tbe Government's counsel, at about 3 o'clock yeBterday afternoon. In Mr. Llaytoors treecn ne reierrea to Mr. Sullivan as "another one of the villains," and the latter says that many bitter tnisgs bad been Baid about him Bicce tbe beginning of this case, yet ncne hstl stung his manhood so keenly as that, and than he bad been brooding over it ever since, and he had slept but little, and bad absolutely eaten nothing since hearirg himself thus denounced. Mr. Sullivan says that out ot respect for a court of justice, he did cot resent the insult at tbe time. At the time indicated, yesterday, Messr?. Hon. John W. Kern, James H. Deery, of the postoffice, and Mr. Sullivan were standing on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania street, near the eouthwest corner ot tne oovernment buildirjg, engaged in conversation. Tbey bsd not been there long until Mr. Claypool came along on his way from bis office to the District Attorney's office. As be was about to pass, and no ticing Mr. Kern, he 6topped, acd taking Mr. Kern familiarly by the hand, jocularly aked: "Is that rumor true?" "What rumor?" irquired Mr, Kern. "Why that I bad been convicted." "I haven't beard of it," replied Mr. Kern, hile Mr. Kern was replying Mr. Sullivan claims that Mr. Claypool looked oyer toward bim masner, and with a smile upon his face, when in a sneering contemptuous he became so enraged that be spat in bis face, and that Claypool then started toward him with his nets in a menacing attitude, wnen ne (builivan) struck him in the face, remarking as he aw so: "In your speech yesterday you took ad vantage of me and called me a villain. Mv hards were tied at tbat time, but I re sent it cow." Claypool then made another attempt to get within strikirg distance of Sullivan, but be was stopped by Mr. Kern, and Mr. Deery held Mr. Sullivan. The two men then stood and denounced each .other in terms more expressive than elegant. "You are a coward," said ClaypooL "Not much. You are the coward and the villain," quickly retorted Sullivan, "Let me get at him," said Claypool. "Let him come," cried Sullivan, "1 will mop the grouLd with him. I did not intead to strike him, on account of his ae, bat I will defend my manhood." A large crowd had gathered at the scene of the trouble by this time, and both bum van and Claypool went into the postoffice building. Upon reaching the United Slates Marshal's office, Claypool was still very mad, and he made use of several very vin dictive remarks: "I would have killed the dirty dog if they bad let me alone," and "I will send him to the penitentiary if it takes the last cent I have gol," were amoBg tha expressions he made ihere. Messrs. Sullivan. Kern and Deery in a few minutes proceeded to Justice Wal po'e' 8 court, where proceedings for assault atd battery were Instituted against Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Deery was made tbe prosecuting witness, and subpoenies were issued for Messrs. Kern and Claypool. The papers were all immediately served by Coustaole Gately, and the ca3a set down for hearing on Mondey morning at U o cioct. Mr. Clavpool. when asked about the unfcr.utate occurrence, denoua:ed the attack as cowardly, and denied that he looked sneeringly at Sullivan, and also denied tbat he offered to strit e Sullivan until he had been hit him self He thinks he was struck twice. An hour after the afiray, Mr. Claypool's right eye bad becun to look black, but otueri93 there were no bruises visible on either the rombatants. Mr. Claypool Baid he would take no pains to prosecute Mr. Sullivan, tut tbat ha would answer, the sum mons of the Justice on Monday mormn?, and testify to the facts in the matter, if called upon to do so. Judge Wood", when asked if he had any jurisdiction in tbe case from the fact that Clav pool is in the employ of theGavernment. said he thocght not, but that he would have, bad if the difficulty had oc curred in the Federal building. Both Mr. Kern and Mr. Derrv substanI tiallv corrohate the statement of Mr. Sallivan 'r Warn cava tha hlrtv waa van. Mr. Kern says the blow was Btruoi ! so quick that he absolutely did not see it, It .UV.U V. . n UaWIh V t a t 4ka wt Art although he was looking right at the men. From the time of the occurrence ot this assnlt. most people lost sight of the con spiracy trial, and for a time ceased specu lating as to what the jury would do, and the Sullivan-Claypool fisticuff was the leading topic of conversation. The opinions expressed varied according to the preju dices of the persons giving them. Tbe friends cf Mr. Claypool denounced it 83 & cowardly and uncalledfor attack, while the friends of Mr. Sullivan declared that they were surprised that the many insults and abuses that Clavpool has been fiinging at the de fendants in this case for so long bad cot been resented be fore. There were many who frankly said that the only trouble was Claypool bad not been beaded off soon enough, and that he did not get half what ha deserved. It was the opinion of the calmer and more consarvative minds, however, that the trouble was unnecessary, and could and should have been averted at this time at least. Money For Him. Coeydon. January 27. A few days a;o the postmaster here received a letter fro ji Jordan Giles, of Henderson. Ky., who is secretary and treasurer of the Ohio Valley Psilwsv Cnmnanv. statine that he had a certain' sum of money in his possession which belonged to a man named Bell, wno mas at one time a resident of Corydon. Mr. Giles said that while he was In business at Tadncah, Ky., during the war, Mr. Bell came to him and left aome money with him, saying that he was goiDg on a dmgerocs expedition in the Confederate States and did not care to take the money with bim. Mr. Giles says that Bell requested him to send the money to his Bister at Corydon, if be did not call for it within a certain time, but says that he never thought of the matter again from that day nntil the dav he wrote the letter to the postmaster at this place. Friends of Major Horace Bell wrote to him at Los Angeles, Cal.. about the matter, and received an an swer vesterdav. Bell says that he left $3, OOO with Giles, and has ever since been en deavoring to learn his whereabouts. He says that when Judge Walter Q. Gresham was in Dos Angeles some time a?one as&eu him abont Giles, knowing that he was acnnsinted with him. The Jud?e told bim teat he bad not seen Giles since the war, bnt tbat he made a million dollars In cot ton durinz the rebellion. Giles is a native of this place, and left here a penniless boy. The Lowry.YVhite Case. Washinutok, January 27, Ths Hiuse Committee on Elections, to-day, dispose! of the Indiana contested election cast by ordering a report to tbe House declaring the seat vacant on the ground that White (the sitting member) ia ineligible, while Lowry, the contestant, did not have a majority of the votes cast. Tbe adoption of the report by the House would necessitate another election in the Sixth Indiana District. On the motion to declare Lowry n titled to the seat, every member of the committee except Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, who was absent, voted in the negative. The succeeding motion to declare that White is not entitled to the seat was sup ported by all of the Democrats, while Messrs. Roweil, Cooper, Lyman, Johnson (Ind.) and Lodge voted no.

A FOREIGN ARTIST'S DESIGN

Adopted ty the Commission for the Sol ei er s Monument. The Soldiers Monument Commissioners have been continuously m session since the 12th of January, when seventy sets of designs, each comprising five drawings, were submitted to them. On Wednesday tbey were joined by three profeFstonal experts Prof. Ware, cf New lork; Professor Campbell, of Wabash College, and General T. A. Morris, of this city. At' noon, yesterday, the Commissioners, with the hearty apapproval of the experts, unanimously selected the design known to them as "No. 4," and marked with the motto, "Indianapolis," as their first choice. When tbe sealed envelope was opened it proved to rontain the name of EranoSchml'z, Berlin. Mr. Schmitz was the successful artist in the great competition for the Italian National monument at Rom?, some years since, and has been remarkably successful at other contests, of which he has won between thirty and forty iu different parts of Europe, and has built two large museums and a considerable number of business buildings. He is a Knight of the order. "The Crown of Italy," and is the possessor of the great golden medals bestowed for eminence in art, both in Trussia and Holland. The successful design consists of a lotty bhaft, with a highly ornamented capitol eupported on a pedestal with steps and terraces below and decorated with scalomre. üa the top is a figure of Liberty. Unlike most such monuments, this shaft is square instead of round. This variation from the ac customed type, which, simple as it seems. is so unusual as to be almost without ex ample, gives the design a remarkable character of vigor and elegance. The Commission at once telegraphed to Mr. Schmitz that bis design had been acceptei. The monument will be erected in Crcle Tark, as required by the act of the Legislature.

It is generally admitted that the late show at Chicago was a great success. The horae department was a grand afiair, Bringing tosether the creaai of the various breeds in a way that the public ciuld readily compare tbem.
